The thrill of the Six of Crows Duology continues to enchant me. I find myself drawn to each of Leigh Bardugo's books, in pursuit of that elusive sensation. Yet, even with a narrative as finely woven as this (and truly, it is remarkable), I find myself grappling with the task of rating it against the lofty benchmarks set by Six of Crows.
